McGonagall walked in front of the teacher's table and put the sorting hat on the stool that was already there. Michelle and Sam moved down to where McGonagall was standing. The sorting hat sang it song and McGonagall called "Michelle Bouvier" Michelle walked up and sat on the stool. McGonagall placed the hat on her head and after a few mumbles from the hat it yelled "Gryffindor"

Michelle got up and walked to the Gryffindor table and was about to sit on the end when Seamus called her over to the group. She sat between Seamus and Neville, right across from Harry, Ron and Hermione. She was nervously wondering what house Sam would be in. A few seconds after the Gryffindors got quiet McGonagall continued. "Samantha James". Sam walked up and sat on the edge of the stool. You could tell she was starting to get nervous. There were random shouts from the hat and then he screamed "Gryffindor!" Another round of shouts from the Gryffindor table soon quieted. Ron shoved Hermione to the side and shouted, "There's an empty seat here," everyone laughed and Hermione rolled her eyes. Sam sat down and saw the redness in Michelle's cheeks and laughed silently.

After the feast Gryffindor's introduced the new comers to the tower. Hermione and Ginny showed the two to their new dormitories. Their things had already been placed next to their four post beds. The boys called from the common room for the girls to back down. Harry and Ron had gotten plenty of mugs of butter beer to celebrate the new arrivals.

Sam's POV

I couldn't help but be excited, Hogwarts was so much more interesting than Nosbod, so many pictures and statues it was really cool. I knew Michelle was extremely pumped; she was totally into that old antique shit. I was more into the boys! There were hundreds of hotties here. Especially a cute looking red headed boy, I think his name is Ron. I wonder if anything exciting will happen this year. I really hope Miles writes me back soon. I guess I should go to bed soon since I don't really know any of the classes I'm taking.

Michelle's POV

I was so embarrassed during dinner, sitting across from Harry, and now I'm starving since I barely ate a thing. Sam didn't have any problems though, she never does. How could anyone be so confident in front of complete strangers? It was really nice of Seamus to invite us to their spot at the table.

Everyone was really welcoming so that was great. That Ron kid was really weird though, and he eats like an animal! But still he was nice and you can tell he likes Sam. I couldn't tell if it was wishful thinking or not but I think I caught Harry glancing at me a few times. Then there's this school it's gorgeous, the architecture and the antiques are beautiful. I can't wait to see more! But now I'm really tired, it was a long train ride here.

Harry and Ron sat in the big fluffy chairs next to the fireplace in the common room late that night talking about Michelle and Sam.

"So Ron it's obvious you like Sam, Did you talk to her at all tonight?" Harry asked, not really wanting to share his thoughts at the moment.

"Well at dinner I guess she was hungry so not really then, but she did want to talk to me tonight when we came back here. Oy she is beautiful isn't she? You like that Dark haired one though don't you? What's her name, Rachel?" He asked.

"Michelle!" Harry thought he said this a bit to quickly and defiantly to loudly.

"Geez, Sorry Harry." Ron said defensively.

"No I'm sorry it came out wrong. But yeah, I sort of fancy her I guess..." Harry drifted," That was a great idea you had getting the butter beer."

"Mmm-Hmm" Ron said getting Harry's point, "Well I guess we should be going to bed, it's getting late."

Sam's POV

I woke up late. I was so late I didn't even have enough time to go to the great hall to have breakfast, or go to Divination. I wonder why no one woke me up! I went and got ready in the girls bathroom. I guess I would have had time to go to Divination...if I didn't take so long getting ready. I didn't even have enough time to put in my contacts, so I had to wear my glasses. I got to class late and I had to sit with this awkward kid named Neville. Hermione and Michelle were sitting two desks ahead of us in the front row. Ron and Harry were directly behind them.

"I hope you slept well Miss. James" McGonagall said in a not so enthusiastic tone.

"Sorry Professor! No one woke me up" Sam said staring into the back of Hermione and Michelle's heads.

"Well should I suggest a alarm clock?" Professor McGonagall said smartly. Sam rolled her eyes when she looked away. After the interruption, the class seemed to never end. After Transfigurations we went to Lunch.

"Michelle over here!" Hermione said sitting down next to Harry and Ron. Sam just sat down next to Neville who had a weird grin on his face.

"Michelle I was thinking maybe I could take you to the library after classes and show you where the good books are" Hermione said giddily. Harry and Ron looked at her like she was nuts.

"Like she would want to do that!" Ron said as he took a big bight of his piece of bread.

"Actually I love to read. I find it fascinating." Michelle said shyly. Hermione smiled happily and Ron just rolled his eyes.

"So what do you want to do when they are reading in the library?" Ron asked Harry and Sam.

"I don't know. I was thinking about studying for Potions. I don't want Snape to have a reason to fail me." Harry said. Sam just shrugged. Ron could tell something was troubling her.

"OH! I forgot, you weren't here this morning at breakfast and this light brown owl came and dropped this off at the table." He said handing her a package. Sam looked up and smiled and took the package.

Sam's POV

I wonder whom the package is from. I don't remember sending out for anything. I opened the letter on the side of the package. It was in Miles handwriting.



Dear Peanut Butter,

Sorry it took so long to write. I miss you terribly. I count the days until I see you again. Haha sorry I got that out of a movie. I hope this gift will make up for our fight we had before you left. I know you love me, and I know you would never cheat on me. I know this relationship will last long distance. I don't know why I was so worried. I will write more later. I send all my love.

Love,

Your Jelly.



"So who is it from?" Ron asked as he saw the look of joy on Sam's face.

"Oh...a friend" Sam lied as she opened the package.

Ron's POV

I'm so glad I gave her the package, now she is so happy. I bet she is home sick and its one of her girl friends sending her some thing from home. She opened the package with her butter knife. It was a M.V.S. (most valuable seeker) trophy! I wonder who sent her that.

"Is that what I think it is?" Michelle asked excitedly. Sam nodded and smiled.

"Wait, but didn't you guys-" Michelle started to say but Sam gave her a look that meant 'shut up'.

"Why the fuck are you so interested with me all of a sudden? You weren't very fucking keen on helping me or hanging out with me this morning!" Sam said getting angry.

"Well sorry if I don't want to spend every fucking moment with you!" Michelle raised her voice, "Plus! Aren't you the one to say that we needed to fucking get to know people!" she said defending herself. The table looked awe struck at the angry out burst. Michelle was so angry and embarrassed she ran out of the Great Hall.
